I want to throatpunch my coworker...

but she's pregnant, so I can't! 

A little backstory, so this all makes sense.  My boss and I are close.  We're friends outside of work.  We were pregnant at the same time, my first, her second.  We both had issues getting pregnant, both had m/c, and were both high risk.  We would talk about things at work and I'm very open about my IF, pregnancy and delivery.  If you have a question, just ask me-odds are, I'll give you an honest answer.  Because of this, I didn't mind if other coworkers heard some of our conversations.  One coworker, in particular, thinks that she knows it all because she's pregnant with her second child.  She's the type that her way is right and there's no other way. 

Before I got pregnant, she told me that doing fertility treatments would make me act psycho. She also told me that I needed to relax and I would get pregnant.  With her first baby, he got pregnant on her first cycle of trying.

When I was pregnant, she told me that I needed to relax and enjoy my pregnancy.  I told her that was easier said than done when you are high-risk, giving yourself injections every night, and going to the dr weekly.  I brushed that off and other comments she would make while I was pregnant. 

While I was on maternity leave, I went into work to talk to my boss about coming back, etc.  I told her that I had been out longer than expected because I was being treated for ppd/anxiety.  Annoying coworker walked in the office as I was telling her this.  I didn't think it was a big deal.  Fast forward to this week.  Its her last week of work because she's delivering her full-term baby on Sunday by c-section.  She tells me that she might try to fake ppd so she can get her disability expended.  WTF?!?!   Who in their right mind would say that?!?! 

Then today, she procedes to tell me that she wishes her delivery wasn't planned and that it would be a big surprise like mine,except "the whole nicu thing"  Again, WTF?!?!   I had finally had enough and told her that she was being insensative and that I would trade places with her any day.  I would love to have a planned delivery at 39 1/2 weeks, but instead my stupid blood pressure had to go through the roof and I had a "surprise" delivery.

After that conversation, I told my boss that I could very well lose my job today for punching a pregnant woman.  Thank the Lord she had to go pick up her kid early and I don't have to see her for 3 months!

I love the visual of the throatpunch.  I thought I was the only one who fantasized about doing that to some stupid b***h.  I'm still not over other people's "normal" pregnancies, let alone the ones who are idiots.
